AAAA Region 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Truell Came Up Big in New Hampstead's 34-22 Loss
Starting off the list is New Hampstead's Rashawn Truell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Truell threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 300 passing yards dating back to last season.
Truell and New Hampstead will be playing in front of their home fans against Wayne County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Truell took on the Yellow Jackets, he threw for 350 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kory Pettigrew Delivers Best Performance of Season
Kory Pettigrew produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Perry to the win on Friday. Pettigrew picked up 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 67 yards.
Pettigrew and Perry will take on Benedictine at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Pettigrew up against the Cadets' star receiver Joshua Washington. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
Gamescore: 31.27
Bubba Frazier was a major factor in Benedictine's win over Wayne County on Friday. Frazier was unstoppable, rushing for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, while also picking up 51 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Benedictine's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Frazier has averaged 93.5 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 17.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 45.33 rushing yards.

Hooks Made His Presence Known in Ware County's 31-21 Loss
While Ware County might've come up empty on Friday, Luke Hooks wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Hooks was still balling out as he threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns.
Ware County now has a losing record at 3-4. Hooks and Ware County will challenge Warner Robins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Jack Ganem Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Benedictine got the W thanks in part to Jack Ganem playing the best football he has all season. Ganem picked up 156 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Ganem and Benedictine will look to defend their home field on Friday against Perry at 7:30 p.m. The match will pit Ganem up against the Panthers' star pass catcher Kiel Sparks. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
